Include Detailed Contents entry in short TOC?

Question

With the memoir documentclass, I have both a Short Contents (chapters and sections only) and a Detailed Contents (also subsections, which happen to be unnumbered).

Is it possible to include the entry "Detailed Contents" in the Short Contents table without including the entry "Contents" in the Detailed Contents, and vice versa?

Source:

\documentclass[12pt]{memoir}

\begin{document}

\frontmatter

{\renewcommand*{\contentsname}{Short Contents}
  \setcounter{tocdepth}{1}
  \tableofcontents
}
\renewcommand*\contentsname{Detailed Contents}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}
\tableofcontents 

\mainmatter

\chapter{First Chapter} 

\section{Section 1}

\subsection*{First subsection}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{First subsection}

\subsection*{Second subsection}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{Second subsection}

\section{Section 2}

\end{document}

First page of output:

Of course:

• using the starred form \tableofcontents* for only the Detailed Contents produces the entry "Short Contents" in both TOCS (but "Detailed Contents" in neither);

• using the starred form \tableofcontents* for only the Short Contents produces the entry "Detailed Contents" in both TOCs (but "Short Contents" in neither); and

• using the starred form for both produces no entry for either TOC in either of the TOCs.

Answer 1

This is a possible solution, by using a \if@shorttoc switch and writting dummy \contentsline to the ToC, which are evaluated at the time of loading the .toc file in \@input{\jobname.toc} (hidden in \@starttoc usually)

If \@shorttoctrue is set, \longcontentsstuff will show the contentsline meant for the detailed contents, correspondingly it is \relaxed for \@shorttocfalse, accordingly the opposite is done for \shortcontentsstuff`.

Simplification is done with \shorttableofcontents and \longtableofcontents, both having an optional argument that is used as value for the tocdepth counter. (I know, there are memoir equivalents of this tocdepth as well)

In order to provide hyperref support some 'heavy' tricks has to be used.

• Perhaps I can look after a memoir based solution later on.
• Of course, my redefinition of \tableofcontents is not compatible with memoir's version, especially with the \tableofcontents* way.
